This bill adds cychlorphine, a controlled substance, to Kentucky law by defining it and making it illegal to import, traffic, sell, or distribute it. It also establishes that if someone sells or distributes cychlorphine to another person and that person dies as a result, the seller can be charged with manslaughter, and carrying cychlorphine into a correctional facility would carry enhanced penalties. Who it may affect: law enforcement, prosecutors, and individuals involved in the sale or distribution of controlled substances.
